Hotkeys appear when you hover over buttons. You can also see them by bringing up the tools menu by hitting the space bar. Though you may need to change that setting by going to Edit -> Preferences -> input -> spacebar actions.
If anyone has questions and are looking to the comment section for answers, let me clear them up; 1) When he is starting to make the blade, he subdivided, then he cuts. If you guys are having an error with cutting and the cut doesn't go all the way to the end, but rather to the first lines. Here is my solution: Use a loop cut, it may go all around but you can clear and delete the extra cuts. Or, there might be extra faces and vertices interfering with the cut. To fix this go to Mesh: Clean Up: Delete Loose and select faces, vertices and sides. If it says 0, just use the loop cut to fix this. 2) If you want to raise the blade, but the sides(those small edges he did at the beggining) are coming up with your blade, here is the solution: Go to where part where the mini blade is connecting with the main blade when raised, and dissolve the vertice(s). Mine was at the opposite side of where I was working on, behind the blade so when I disolved it stopped the raise. It will look different, but you can substitute and resize blocks to fit in the 2 empty spaces. 3) If yall were wondering how to make the blade flat and scale to medium, here it is; Select the faces you want to scale (the blade you are raising). Press S, then Z then 0 on your keyboard and it will scale. 4) To select multiple faces, this is how: Go to the bar that says edit mode, and right next to it will be 3 buttons. The first is for vertices, the second is for cuts and lines and the third will be for selecting faces. To select a row of faces press the face you want to select. press control and select the end of the face you want to select. To manually select faces press Shift and whatever face/vertices/cut so it will not reset when you click a new one. 5) When you are about to raise your blade, and your cuts, but the lines don't line up to 1 vertices, here is what to do: Leave it! Select all the middle vertices and pull it up, its fine if there is more than one center vertices. Any questions can be commented here and I will be editing this as I come across more problems :)
i tried to follow this but when you got the the part where you made all the lines on the top of the sword before it was sharp and pressed something to make it go pointy, mine just adds a thin straight line upwards from that point
I'm watching this one to see how you handle the sharp edges of the sword. I've new doing fixed blade knives and using AI to create the outline shape of the blade and bringing into Blender as an .SVG😀
i cant extrude it to smaller. it just sucks in what do i do. i have a project due 12 tonigth. when you extrude the top and bottom it just sucks in but the corners and edges stay
At about 10:40, you talk about how to smoothen out the top of the blade and find the median vertice, but the key commands you mentioned don't do anything but bring up a wheel and doesn't seem to do anything else.... I think I'm in a newer version of blender, so some things might have changed, but I'm having a hard time figuring this one out myself...
I did it! I made the sword! Woohoo! I got a little bogged trying to get fancy with the point, but I think I know what I did wrong. Great set of tutorials! My only issue is that the watch order of the videos seems random.
when it came to trying to do the sword it would only cut the first section and not go the whole way down and its go me really confused as to what was going on
2:41 every time i click the top edge and try to scale it only scales the edge and the like it does not make a triangle like that just a straight line help!1!!
I had dissolved those vertices away. And if your knife cut isn't joining some lines, it more than likely means that there is a hidden face on the model. You can remove those by selecting all the vertices and going up to the vertex menu at the top and clicking remove doubles.
@@crimson_9692 sounds like the point of the sword wasn't centered. You can either use the Knife tool to cut a line in, or join each side to the middle vertex.
If you pressed confirm, and it didn't make it's cuts, the only reason I can think of is that the face isn't connected to the vertices. So generally that happens if there is an extruded race over top of a face.
I recommend starting on this tutorial so you can get an understanding of blender and how it works ua-cam.com/video/TPrnSACiTJ4/v-deo.html These helped me understand how to use blender, it'll help you understand what he means. Blend Guru tells you what to do but he also explains why in a fun way.
@Mark Moneypenny Sorry for the late response, but I hope this can help! To select multiple faces, go into edit mode, then press 3 (this will allow you to select any face on the object). From there, press down shift as you select the faces (this is to select multiple faces).
muChas GraciAs! But really, you're one of the best youtubers for this, and you explain very good! Also I like how you say the controls and stuff. Thank you!1!
sorry but this thing didnt work in the part where you select the 4 vertices for the middle spike, if i do that it also selects the one vertice that is in the middle of the vertices in the left and the right
I don't know any of the keybinds, like it wont even let me select like you do in 2:14, I wish you would explain all the keybinds you use to make the sword while you are making it
are you scaling in edit mode? Do you have proportional editing turned on? Am I scaling on a particular axis at the part in the video you're talking about? It could be those and a few more possibilities, but look into those first.
It was kind of hard to understand what you were saying since you didn't really specify the keys we were suppose to click but I guess some people found this video helpful so thank you. EDIT: Nvm I was able to search some things up and i finished the tutorial thank you!
This video is meant to be viewed as the final video in the modeling basics playlist. All the tools and skills needed to make this sword have been covered in the previous videos of the playlist. I did not cover the key presses necessary because it was expected that my students at the time would have a sufficient understanding of the tools and keys needed to follow along. Perhaps watch the playlist in order where you would learn the scaling hotkey is S.

Fantastic video. A little fast for beginners, but clear instructions and diction. Really great stuff
its bs
this 16 minute long tutorial took me an hour to make
Me who took 3 hours for a 10 minute tutorial: First time, huh?
i tried to follow this but when you got the the part where you made all the lines on the top of the sword before it was sharp and pressed something to make it go pointy, mine just adds a thin straight line upwards from that point
When you make the point of the sword, just drag the top upward. The hot key is g.
I’m late for this but, how did he select both of the sides?
IKR
@iFishThanks.
@Fwishys Ahaha I'm hella late. 20201 go br- anyways uh.. 2.9 doesn't have the 'extrude to normals' tool thing so how can I make it go 5 blender units?

when i select the top faces and bottom faces and try to bring it down 2:08 the sides stay up idk why

why there were no extra verteces in face at 8:34.And also my knife cutting were not joining some lines

@@StudioKavod remove doubles is not there for me, and when i try to cut the lines im missing the one in the middle
It's under Mesh - clean up - merge at distance
@@StudioKavod Thanks so much
@@crimson_9692 sounds like the point of the sword wasn't centered. You can either use the Knife tool to cut a line in, or join each side to the middle vertex.
@SirPinkBeard
What did you press after (G+G) To set the loop cut location to .5?
4:53
I just typed -.5 while the hotkey was active
when I try to cut with the knife over the original cube's edges it doesn't create a vertex on top of the edges, nor an edge. Do you maybe know why?
If you pressed confirm, and it didn't make it's cuts, the only reason I can think of is that the face isn't connected to the vertices. So generally that happens if there is an extruded race over top of a face.
@@StudioKavod that would be weird :(
I guess I just have to google more then.
For people who read this in the futures: for some reason extruding along normals made it so that 5 edges were stacked on top of each other.
The faces need to be in edit mode or in object mode in 1:42 and how did he click like number 5 and it got tall
I'm confused. How do I grab the faces of the cube?
Switch to face select more by pressing 3 on the top of your keyboard and then left click
@@StudioKavod i cant choose both of the faces
just by pressing and left click but it choose three faces
Hold shift not control
Subbed in about a second! Watched the entire video great explanations thank you
Thanks for the compliment! And let me know if there's any other tutorial you'd like to see

how do I select multiple things at once?
select something then press shift before selecting another thing
How did you move it up at 2:40?
Probably using hotkeys. G to move and X,Y, or Z to lock it to an axis

is that sword looking kida KICC!
Hi for the bevel part sense i use blender 2.9 the gui dosent look the same as your gui and when i use the bevel tool it wont change shape
nevermind it was just me being stupid XD
how do i select a SIDE OR EVEN THE CUBE!??!?!?! WHEN I DESELECT IT I CAN'T SELECT IT ANYMORE
Thankyou so much!
How
Do i select the face at1:34
how did u dissolve those edges for me it says vertices
When you hit x you'll see the dissolve option for all three, but if you don't make sure you are in edge select mode
3:36 how did you do it please tell please
how do i move it up i tried alot 2:40

hi sirpink... what did you do here 7:25?
it was "inset"
How do I select the surface
y is the knife only working on one side and not the other? pls i ned halp. sry im bad
You may have a duplicate face on one side. The knife won't cut if the faces aren't on the same plane
how come your scaling doesn't effect the rest of the model?, if i try to scale it stretches the rest ... :/
are you scaling in edit mode? Do you have proportional editing turned on? Am I scaling on a particular axis at the part in the video you're talking about? It could be those and a few more possibilities, but look into those first.
Also, did he like press “.” Then pressed 5?

Nice job not going step by step. For a beginner I have no idea what you are doing at all. Dislike.
its like he thinks everyone knows what to do make it more simple no help at all might aswell not even have the video up
